Association of Race or Ethnicity With Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Production in Escherichia Coli: A Case Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are limited and conflicting data regarding the impact of race or ethnicity on the rate of gram-negative antimicrobial resistance. This study was performed to determine whether there is a difference in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli infection or colonization in minoritized patients when compared to White patients from a diverse US Midwestern city.

Methods

A case control study was performed, with controls with non-ESBL E. coli matched 1:1 to patients with ESBL-producing E coli based on age, sex, and ZIP code. A variety of other evidence-based factors for ESBL Enterobacterales infection and colonization were collected via chart review. Multivariate conditional logistic regression assessed the odds of minoritized pa
